And that’s how it happened, from my point of view. I’ve tried to be scrupulously and even brutally fair and objective in this manuscript, revealing my own weaknesses as well as those of others. Of course, that won’t prevent revisionist so-called ‘researchers’ from picking it apart and reducing it to bones. I can only hope that the real heroes of this story, the men and women who served during this time, are remembered with the honor they deserve.
